Shun Sora Paring Knife

This knife is designed for small-scale, intricate tasks that require precision, such as peeling fruits, coring vegetables, deveining shrimp, or trimming herbs. Its compact size allows for better control than a larger chef's knife when working with small ingredients.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the VG10 steel edge and the handle material, you should always hand wash it with mild soap and dry it immediately after use.

Shun’s Composite Blade Technology joins a high-performance VG10 steel cutting edge to a durable stainless steel upper. This construction provides the razor-sharp performance of premium Japanese steel while maintaining the durability and corrosion resistance needed for everyday kitchen use.

The handle is crafted from a PP/TPE polymer blend with a textured finish, which provides a non-slip grip. This is particularly important for a paring knife, as it ensures your hand remains steady and secure while performing detailed, repetitive tasks.

The blade is ground to a 16-degree angle on each side. This is significantly sharper than standard Western-style knives, allowing for effortless, clean cuts through delicate produce.
